Choosing the Right Fordham Campus

One University, Multiple Campuses. Choose What Fits You Best.

Which College Should I Apply To?

Fordham offers multiple campuses across New York City and beyond, giving you flexibility in how and where you pursue your education. Many of our programs are available at more than one location, while some are offered exclusively on a specific campus. Each campus has its own strengths, character, and setting—from the energy of Manhattan to the spacious, traditional campus experience in the Bronx. As veteran, active duty member, military spouse or dependent student, you have the opportunity to choose a location that aligns with your academic goals, personal circumstances, and preferred learning environment. Whether you're looking for convenience, access to professional opportunities, or a quieter setting to focus on your studies, you have options—and we’re here to help you make the most of them.

Rose Hill (Bronx)

Fordham’s original campus, Rose Hill offers a traditional collegiate setting with Gothic architecture, green space, and a strong residential community. Located adjacent to the New York Botanical Garden and Bronx Zoo, Rose Hill is ideal for students seeking a campus-based experience with access to the broader city. Many undergraduate programs in the liberal arts, sciences, and pre-health fields are housed here.

Lincoln Center (Manhattan)

Set in the heart of New York City’s cultural and business districts, our Lincoln Center campus offers immediate access to internship opportunities, networking, and public service experiences. The campus is modern, urban, and walkable—ideal for students pursuing degrees in business, performing arts, social work, and law, as well as those balancing coursework with career or family responsibilities.

Westchester

Home to the Westchester branches of the Fordham School of Professional and Continuing Studies, Gabelli School of Business, Graduate School of Education, and the Graduate School of Social Service, we are also home to three institutes: the Children FIRST, National Center for Social Work Trauma Education, and the Ravazzin Center on Aging.

Fordham London

Hundreds of students from Fordham and other colleges and universities study at Fordham London each year. Fordham London—a six-story building featuring classrooms, a student lounge, and a roof terrace—is home to academic programs in business and the liberal arts, along with a robust internship program.

What to Keep in Mind When Choosing a Campus

As a military-affiliated student, there are a few specific factors worth considering as you decide which Fordham campus is the right fit for you:

  • Commute and Accessibility: If you’re living off-campus, proximity to home, public transportation, or a military installation may influence your choice.

  • Program Location: Some academic programs are only available at a particular campus. Make sure your intended degree aligns with campus offerings.

  • Lifestyle and Learning Environment: Rose Hill offers a more traditional, residential college setting. Lincoln Center provides an urban, commuter-friendly environment that may suit working students or those with family commitments.

  • Support Services: No matter which campus you choose, Fordham’s support for military-connected students (including VA certification, advising, and transition support) is available to you.

Explore each campus and think about which one best matches your goals, circumstances, and preferences. You have a choice—and we’ll help you make the most of it.
